Growing number of clinics pause J&J vaccines after reports of 'adverse' reactions; CDC finds no safety issues

A growing number of clinics nationwide offering COVID-19 vaccines have paused operations this week after "adverse reactions" were reported by people who received the Johnson & Johnson jab.

Federal health officials have been evaluating incidents in Georgia, Iowa, Colorado and North Carolina, but have not "found any reason for concern."

On Thursday evening, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) analyzed the vaccine lot at the latest site to report reactions, the PNC Arena clinic in Wake County, North Carolina, after 18 people had reactions during the required post-vaccination monitoring period earlier in the day.

Out of more than 2,300 Johnson & Johnson vaccine shots administered, 14 patients suffered "minor reactions" and were "treated on site," according to county officials. Four others were transported to area hospitals for observation and all but one have already been released.

Officials did not disclose the types of reactions but said they were "consistent with known common side effects" of the vaccine.

After the reported reactions, the county and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services paused operations "out of an abundance of caution" while the issue was investigated.

In just a few hours, the CDC determined there was no "reason for concern" and recommends continuing to administer the vaccine.

However, the news came just a day after two other vaccine sites, one in Colorado and another in Georgia, also reported side effects.

On Wednesday, 13 people had adverse reactions to Johnson & Johnson vaccines at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado. Even though less than 1% of the more than 1,700 people suffered reactions, the site still paused operations for the day, The Denver Gazette reported.

"Out of an abundance of caution," the Georgia Department of Health also paused Johnson & Johnson vaccines at the Cumming Fairgrounds site

CDC: “Nothing to see here... keep lining up for your shot! Completely safe! Honest!”

Oh, and if Trump was president, every adverse reaction would be his fault and there would be a ticker on the screen counting adverse reactions from the Tuskegee Experiment Part Deux.

Even if it’s not contaminated with AstraZeneca, it shares the Viral Vector Adenovirus format. (Albeit J and J does not use some chimpanzee-originated thing. Gross!) However for both: fetal cell lines were also more heavily relied upon than with the mRNA jabs.

Which is why my qualms are higher with J and J than with the Pfizer/Moderna.

BUT CONCERNING ALL OF THEM: MAKE SURE YOU don’t have high blood pressure before getting shot and consult with doctor if on are on meds or birth control that makes you more susceptible to clots! This is common sense.

True. I’m not an anti vaccine person by any stretch.

I just wish they’d be up front in telling people there’s a risk of adverse reaction, and then explain that the reward potentially outweighs the risk. I know they make you sign a disclaimer with all of this info.

It just reminds me of the experimental anthrax vaccine i recieved for several years they swore was safe but I and many others had reactions and side effects.

RE: What kind of “adverse reactions”?...............

From the article:

Officials did not disclose the types of reactions but said they were “consistent with known common side effects” of the vaccine.

So, what are the known side effects? See here:

Since the J&J vaccine supposedly doesn’t mess with your DNA like the others do, I was considering J&J to get the shot. Looks like I’ll pass on this one also.

My body, my choice.

If they are “common” side effects, no problem right? Closing the stations would be a gross overreaction, right?

My wife and I received the Johnson and Johnson vaccine better that two weeks ago. We had absolutely no side affects, not even a sore arm where it was administered. We felt nothing out of the ordinary afterward.

Are you suggesting people with high blood pressure shouldn’t get the shot? I believe that is one of the comorbidities one should worry about if they don’t get the vaccine.
